A 25-foot-tall wall covered with living plants welcomes guests to the eco-friendly 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge.
The lobby creates a one-with-nature feel with barnwood floors inset in concrete, granite pillars, metal pendants, rough wood communal tables, crate-inspired wood walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The light and airy Neighbors café on the ground floor features a window wall that opens to the park and outdoor seating.
In suites, guests can relax in a corner hammock while watching the activity on the East River and Manhattan through expansive windows.
A pipe that collects storm water to give back to the park for irrigation runs through the ceiling and columns of the lobby, where boxy sofas, square tables made from pallets, leather seating, and fur rugs create intimate seating zones.
